***Please read the evaluation criteria closely. If the vendor does not provide a full response, it will be found unresponsive***

The solicitation provides that quotations will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach. The award will be made based on the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The technical acceptability factor contains two non-cost subfactors (see below). The agency will first rank quotations according to price, from lowest to highest, and will evaluate the lowest-priced quotation as either technically acceptable or unacceptable, reserving the right to evaluate additional quotations for technical acceptability if deemed to be in the best interest of the government.

Evaluation Factors:

1. Price
2. Technical Acceptability.

       a. Subfactors:

      - Technical Approach: Quotations will be evaluated to determine if the offeror's proposed technical approach clearly demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of, and the ability to meet, all requirements outlined in the Scope of Work (SOW). To be evaluated as technically acceptable, the offeror must provide a written Technical Approach that explicitly details how they will meet the requirement. The Government will evaluate this factor on an Acceptable/Unacceptable (Pass/Fail) basis. Quotations that do not include a technical approach or include a technical approach that fails to demonstrate a clear understanding or lack the capability to execute the SOW will be deemed technically unacceptable and will not be evaluated further.

      - Authorization from Trimax: Quotations must include proof of confirmation from Trimax Systems LLC that the work will be performed by a vendor that is authorized to work on Trimax's proprietary PLC/HMI source code. Failure to provide this with the proposal package will render the quote technically unacceptable and ineligible for award.

The Government will award a purchase order resulting from the RFQ to a responsible offeror whose quote is responsive to the RFQ and considered to be the LTPA.

(viii) Offerors shall include complete copies of applicable provisions, which are included in SF1449. Offers will be considered incomplete if these are not included with the quote.

(ix) The clause at RFO Part 52.212-4, Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Oct 2025), applies to this acquisition.

(x) Additional Contract Requirement or Terms and Conditions: Please find a contemplated list of additional provisions/clauses in the attachments; the final list of clauses is dependent upon actual dollar value of the contract award and may change from those provided in the attachment. Full text for the clauses and provisions can be accessed via https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul.

(xi) Defense Priorities and Allocation System (DPAS): N/A

(xii) Quote Submission Information:

It is the government’s intent to award without negotiations. Therefore, each initial quote should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the government reserves the right to request clarifications if the Contracting Officer (CO) deems them necessary.

Offers are due on 31 August 2026 at 12:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time (PST).
